Meetings can help bring out best of three

Foreign Minister Wang Yi will attend the 11th China-Japan-ROK Trilateral Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Tokyo on Saturday. Wang and Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya will also cochair the Sixth China-Japan High-Level Economic Dialogue during his stay in Japan, according to a release of the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

It has been one and a half years since the previous trilateral ministers' meeting was held in Busan, the Republic of Korea, in November, 2023, and about six years since the high-level economic dialogue between China and Japan was last held in April 2019 in Beijing.

Both the ROK and Japan have seen tremendous changes in their domestic politics over the past two years, not to mention the past six, while the world has also experienced dramatic changes and rising uncertainties.
